Boston runner-up top wheelchair woman

The women’s wheelchair Mini winner, Susannah Scaroni, was coming off a Boston Marathon in which she finished second to Tatyana McFadden, a five-time Boston champion and seven-time Paralympics gold medalist. Boston was plagued by headwinds and steady rain.

“It was the hardest race I ever did, by far,” said Scaroni, 26, of Champaign, Ill. “It was kind of a day where you have to be inside yourself and go into a different zone. Kind of a survival day.”

She said she covered the course an hour slower than she did a year ago. Her time in the Mini was 55:49.

The men’s winner was James Senbeta, 31, also of Champaign and a teammate of Scaroni on the University of Illinois wheelchair racing team. His time was 47:36,
